Topics of conversation in San Diego and MayoTown are rather different....
At social functions in Rochester, MN, conversations would often turn to things medical, and the oddest and/or most tragic conditions were discussed in graphic anatomical detail over cocktails or coffee hour.
This morning at church coffee hour I learned about the Navy's AEGIS missile systems and which defense contractor was merging with which other contractor.
On a more weighty note, almost 20% of US military deaths in Iraq have been from Camp Pendleton-based Marines. Camp Pendleton is about 30 miles north of here. Anti-war sentiment in Oceanside, the town alongside which Pendleton is located, is growing.
